“Accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in your journey.” –Unknown
Some part of our life is nearing its end all the time. However, closing the door on it requires you to marshal enough strength to leave it in the past and move away from it. But it’s only by embracing the truth that ‘it’s over’ will you be free. Knowing this and living a lifestyle which buttresses this truth are poles apart. Letting go has never been easy and never will be; it is a journey to be traveled a moment, each day at a time. ☺
